Posting on the Mark Fields thread by the looks of things. It's gone ballistic.

I love pre-season,as soon as i see that blue shirt i'm in,watch them allIt’s bliss!
I enjoy the off season as much as the season. Don’t miss the footy at all in the first few months, don’t go out on daft all-dayers/nighters, get a much needed money break from having spend £2k on tickets through the season, get a break from my mates for a few months, get to spend some good time alone and get in the gym or go out to nice places that aren’t a bar stool or the Etihad for a change.
My liver and bank health is much better.
Then when pre-season training starts I start to get excited. I don’t watch any of the pre-season training games, mind. They’re fucking shite.
Back with a bang on Community Shield day, but I hope it’s a very long hot relaxing footy-stress-free Summer before that rolls around.
The off-season is as big a part of my life as the season is. I couldn’t do either all year round. If the season was 12 months i think I’d end up with a stress related illness and in serious financial trouble; but if there was no footy that bliss would turn to boredom.
It’s the perfect combo.
About the 1st of july,maybe the 8th,we have 6 at the copa who won't be there till almost the season startingWhen do City begin pre-season training, by the way?
I worry too much about injuries, especially when they do stupid tours to the US or China and play on what is essentially a cow field when they play on those baseball pitches or on pitches that just cut up for fun.I love pre-season,as soon as i see that blue shirt i'm in,watch them all
I agree about the travelling,i don't like that,i'd rather have a couple of games nearby for the last 2 games but i guess when you at the top you have to do the touring stuffI worry too much about injuries, especially when they do stupid tours to the US or China and play on what is essentially a cow field when they play on those baseball pitches or on pitches that just cut up for fun.
Plus the overreaction on here with the inevitable horrendous pre-season performances where everyone thinks we’ll be lucky to finish mid-table or where everyone gets overexcited about Luke Bolton, Iheanacho and Scott Sinclair and tout them for the Ballon d’Or. :)
The games are literally about earning money from the tour. They just hinder what a real pre-season should be about... FITNESS AND TACTICS!
One year Pep had full control of Bayern’s pre-season and they played two tournaments in Germany and had two training camps, one in the Swiss Alps and one in the Med. Hardly any travelling, all games were played locally.
Just shows you what should really happen instead of these ridiculous world tours... I hate them!
